So why is 50 Cent calling out Nas? At his recent Central Park concert, Nas asked fans who they came to see. "Not that fake sh--," he said. "Not that 50 Cent." Last week, he explained himself. "I didn't throw no disses out. I just spoke like a man to the men in the audience about our music. If anybody got a problem with what I said, then they gotta speak to New York City. New York City said more than what Nas said. When they played certain records before I was onstage, that audience responded [by booing]. I just got onstage and asked them what was going on. So if you got a issue, come talk to your town and see what they feeling. But as far as that battle stuff, I leave that for the new dudes." Several months ago, the G-Unit's captain told MTV News he had a record in the can for Nas, just in case he was tested, but Nas shrugs it off. "Rappers take cheap shots at me all the time," he said. "I heard him say stuff about me before, other guys say stuff about me. I don't have a response for what these dudes are saying about me. ... Dudes know who I am, I always tell it how it is." ...

:lol

:lol Nas beat Jay-Z's ass, so how the hell does 50 think he can avoid the same fate? Stick to the battles you can win buddy...go pick on Ja-Rule again or something.

Whoopedeedooo.... two generic ass rappers battling each other

He can target mase next.

 

[Takuan]

Lyrically, 50 has nothing on Nas, just like Jay.

That could be the big insult of the future. "You ass rapper"

 

[Fresh Prince]

As long this doesn't get in the way of Nas releasing another great album I don't give a shit. Dissing is now in the realm of playground shit anyway.

Although I am inclinded to agree with you, come on man! Nas made "Illmatic". Fuckin' a classic hip-hop record right there. What does 50 Cent have? Eminem's blessing?

 

[Dujour]

Nas is one of rap's few remaining great lyricists. He'd utterly decimate Fiddy. Give me a break. Small ant.

 

[mrkapawutzis]

Nas must have a death wish. I don't mean that as 50 serving his ass, just that nowadays it seems that hip hop beefs have the potential to escalate to the extreme and Nas calling out someone seems a little short sighted.

 

[Renegade]

One thing is for sure: 50 would humiliate Nas in a freestyle battle, but Nas is 10 stars in writtens. His freestyles are GARBAGE though.

 

[Phoenix]

I mean damn - is this going to be the new Roxanne, Real Roxanne, etc. battle for a new generation?

 

[Saint Cornelius]

Now you're just being silly.

Really?

 

[Phoenix]

Now you're just being silly.

Indeed

Why is this even news, both sides been throwing subliminals for over 3 years. Nas must be joking in that quote, asking people who came to see him why they boo'in 50 Cent. Although 50 Cent has probably no chance of winning a battle against Nas. Nas probably jealous cause 50 Cent is taking money in by the truckload doing the mainstream ish.
